Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Kids out drivin' Saturday afternoon just pass me by

And I'm just savorin' familiar sights

We shared some history, this town and I

And I can't stop that long forgotten feelin' of her

Time to book a room and stay tonight

[Verse 2]

Number one is to find some friends to say, you're doin' well

After all this time, you boys look just the same

Number two is the happy hour at one or two hotels

I'm settled in to play to you, do you remember so-and-so?

Number three is never say her name

[Verse 3]

Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver

And there's nothin' else could set fire to this town

There's no change, there's no pace

Everythin' within its place

Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around

[Verse 4]

No, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway

Well, it takes more than just a memory to make me cry

And I'm happy just to sit here at a table with old friends

And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies

[Verse 5]

And there's a girl just fallin' in love

Near where the pianola stands

With a young local factory auto worker, just holdin' hands

And I'm wonderin' if he'll go or if he'll stay

Do you remember nothin' stopped us on the field in our day

[Verse 6]

Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver

And there's nothin' else could set fire to this town

There's no change, there's no pace

Everythin' within its place

Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around

[Verse 7]

Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver

And there's nothin' else could set fire to this town

There's no change, there's no pace

Everythin' within its place

Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
